I agree with your post. And it is no coincidence that all of this comes up in an election year. This crap from the Left is like clockwork.

Clockwork.

I purchase an excellent documentary “Uncle Tom” about black conservatives, and in it, Candace Owens makes that exact point. It is all the Left has, because their ideas have no widespread currency in this country beyond those who would swallow it whole.

This is meant as a way to inflame the black community to get their 90+% of the black vote they are used to getting.

I don’t think it is going to work this time. I believe that Trump is going to get 15% of the black vote, and I won’t be shocked if it goes as high as 25%.

And if that happens, given the math of elections, that is doom for the Left. I just hope that transfer of black vote happens across the spectrum for house, senate, and local elections, but I am less sanguine about that.

I think blacks will vote for Trump in larger numbers, but will still vote the same scum into office at the House, Senate, and local levels.

Sadly.

But yes. You try to set my house on fire, I will make you leak more fluid than you can spare.

Exactly. Well said...

Lather, rinse, repeat.

People who are violently breaking laws at these riots need to be rounded up on the spot and dealt with harshly and punished to the full extent of the law. Otherwise, they continue unabetted.

I watched the trailer for "Uncle Tom" a bunch of times (I think I posted an FR thread on it...can't remember). Will probably buy the movie.

Trump will win by a landslide unless the Left pulls off a major election crime.

That is exactly what is needed. And some good alibis.

Well, I believe it sure work to put an end to the 60's. Kent State is what I'm referring to..

We’re not kicking any observable ass so “taking names off the roles” will be an improvement. Oddly enough, it would improve the attitude of bad guys and good guys. Bad guys would be granted the opportunity to realize the err of their ways while good guys would become our version of “The Few”.

I think it is way past time that the rioters be called out for what they are.

RIOTING DEMOCRATS!!

They have been getting away with the cover of ANTIFA and BLM for too long.

THEY ARE RIOTING DEMOCRATS, and that alone.

Molotov tossers should be dropped in the act or before or afterwards by snipers.

Kyle Rittenhouse ended Kenosha by himself. And the state's reaction tells you all you need to know about who the rioters really work for.

Now, to fight the rioters is to fight the police. I don't think most Americans are anywhere near ready for that.

The anarchists and Dems are bear-baiting now because they WANT martyrs. The news media likely is ready and waiting to beat Trump with this stick. And appealing uninvolved bystanders have a way of getting killed rather than the unappealing rioters (e.g., Kent State Massacre where the 4 dead were not protest participants but students unlucky enough to be downrange). Clean up post-election when the beasts really rampage.

The rioter/looters/arsonists/thugs are no different than an animal that has lost its fear of humans. The rioters have lost their fear of the police or consequences, and until that fear is re-introduced, they’ll continue unabated. I don’t know this for a fact, but I think that fear will be re-introduced when they begin to move out of the cities into suburbs and rural areas. Conservatives own most of the weapons and aren’t afraid to use them.

Should've been introduced at the start.

They could also play "Riot Roulette" - randomly replace rubber bullets with live rounds.

Matt Bracken suggested a heavy upland game load for crowd management.

The no. 4 lead shot carries well. And although it won’t penetrate like buck, it will convince the rioter that his evening is over.

Hate to sat it but it looks a lot like 1930’s Germany. A certain groups wants to force itself on the country using mobs of Brownshirts.

Nope.

It looks like 1920s Germany, when the Red Fighting Front ruled the streets and tried to take power. The Antifa/BLM strategy is an exact copy of that playbook. Both of these communist organizations have identified the weakness in parliamentary democracy with state protection of "rights".

The brownshirts haven't appeared yet. They're next.
